General safety instructions

– When using this pump, observe the follow-
ing safety instructions to exclude the risk of
personal injury or material damage.
– Follow the legal guidelines or accident pre-
vention regulations for using submersible
pumps.
– When the pump is being used in swimming
pools, garden ponds and in the protected
areas around them, the regulations must
be observed in accordance with IEC
60364-7-702.
All national regulations relating to the safe
operation of submersible pumps must also
be followed.
– The pump must be protected by a residual
current device (RCD) with a trip current of
max 30 mA.
A
General danger!
Do not operate the pump if anyone is in con-
tact with the pumping media (e.g. in a swim-
ming pool or garden pond)!
The following residual risks essentially re-
main when operating submersible pumps
and cannot be fully eliminated – even by em-
ploying safety devices.
A
Danger from the environment!
Do not use the pump in hazardous locations
or near inflammable liquids and gases!
B
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
Do not touch the plug with wet hands! To dis-
connect, always pull on the plug, not the pow-
er cable.
Connect only to an earthed outlet that is
properly installed, earthed and tested. Mains
voltage and fuse protection must correspond
10
to those stated in the 'Technical Specifica-
tions'.
Always lift and transport the pump by the
handle, never by the power cable or dis-
charge hose.
Extension cables must have sufficient con-
ductor cross sections. Unroll cable reels fully.
Do not buckle, squeeze, drag or drive over
power cable or extension cables; protect
from sharp edges, oil and heat.
Place extension cable so that it cannot get into
the fluid to be pumped.
Always unplug before servicing the pump.
B
Risk of electric shock from pump
faults!
Before each use, check the equipment - es-
pecially the power and extension cables,
power plug and float switch - for possible
damage. Risk of fatal electric shock!
Do not attempt to repair the pump yourself!
When repaired inexpertly, there is a risk of
liquid entering the electrical parts of the
pump.
A
Caution!
To avoid water damage, e.g. flooded rooms,
caused by pump malfunctions or defects:
provide for suitable safety measures such as
the following:
– alarm or
– collection tank with monitoring.
The manufacturer is not liable for any dam-
age caused by:
– improper use of the pump;
– failure to operate and store the pump in a
frost-free environment;
– unauthorised modification of the pump (re-
pairs to electrical equipment may only be
carried out by qualified electricians!);
– use of spare parts which have not been
tested and approved by the manufacturer;
or
– use of unsuitable installation materials (fit-
tings, connection lines etc.).
Suitable installation materials:
– pressure-resistant (min. 10 bar)
– heat-resistant (min. 100°C).
